Read the instructions, keep them safe, pass them on if you pass the iron on. Remove all packing, but keep it till you know the iron works.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 The iron must only be used by a responsible adult. Use and store it out of reach of children.
2Don’t put the iron in liquid. Don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
3Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
4Don’t iron clothing while it’s being worn – you’ll burn or scald the wearer (this is not a joke – I’ve seen it happen).
5Don’t touch the soleplate, and avoid the steam coming from it.
6Take care when emptying the iron – it may contain hot water.
7Don’t use the iron in the vicinity of children.
8Use the iron on a stable, level,
9Don’t leave the iron unattended while plugged in, or on the ironing board. It may be knocked over by you, a child, or a pet.
10Unplug the iron before filling, before cleaning, and after use.
11Don’t fill the iron directly from the tap, use a jug.
12Don’t fill it right to the top, or water may escape in use.
13Unplug the iron when not in use, before moving, before cleaning, and before fitting/removing any accessory.
14Don’t fit any attachment or accessory other than those we supply.
15Keep the iron and cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
16Don’t use the iron for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
17Take care not to scratch the soleplate – avoid buttons, zips, etc.
18If the iron overheats, a protective thermal fuse will blow, the iron will stop working, and must be returned for repair.
19Don’t use the iron if it’s dropped or damaged, or if it malfunctions or leaks.
20 If the cable is damaged, return the iron, to avoid hazard.
